In the Search for Kiwis: PART II [ w/ plenty eyecandy ]

Second day at New Zealand was tiring with slight jet lag. Didn't take a photo of my breakfast, but it was Western style, and you serve your own. (: Really nice - toast, bacon and eggs. ♥

On the drive, stopped at some place where the water was really blue even though it was cloudy. It was really beautiful. The beach had rocks and everything. I'll let the photo speak for itself. (: ♥

Couldn't really capture the water so took some photos in the coach from my iPod. (: 

Don't even see how it's possible. Looks like paradise, if the weather wasn't so cold. 

Anyhoo, drove over to Mt. Cook which we couldn't see since the weather wasn't excellent. It was raining and really cloudy. So it basically covered the entire view of the mountain.

On the drive around Mt. Cook, we stopped on the road when we had this amazing view of another mountain. It was beautiful, still had a bit of ice at the top of it.

So we went into another place around Mt. Cook and I don't know what the name of it is. Can't seem to recall it. But it was like another museum. Took a photo through stained glass in the museum and surprisingly it turned out really nice. (:

There was a cute model of the mountain ranges and I took a photo of that, but doesn't really do it justice.

Had lunch there as well, I think. Can't really remember, but I had a creamy chicken pie which was quite pricey but really yummy. ♥

Went outside to the balcony area and can someone tell me what a kea is. There was a sign on the door:

Anyhoo, went downstairs where they had a cute museum of Mt. Cook's history and stuff. There was a book for feedback from tourists and I filled it out. It was really interesting reading comments from other people from different countries.

So after lunch and touring a bit, we drove to Queenstown, but before arriving there we had a couple of stops to other places. We stopped when there was sheep that was being herded across the road. My dad took a couple of photos from that. The herd was massive!

We stopped at another place where they had a fruit farm. There was a market and their fruit is quite different to Aussie fruit, more fresh I guess. (: Bought an icecream from there but didn't take a photo of it. Also bought a lotta fruit, but we couldn't take it back to Australia, so ate all of the good stuff. ♥

We got to Queenstown and we went had a bit of free time to wander around the place. Around 30 minutes before dinner. It was really nice, and we got to see some of the sunset. Since the town is situated near the dock, we took some photos. (:

So had dinner at some Chinese restaurant, checked into our hotel and slept.

That was it for the second day at NZ. Most beautiful place ever. I realised that their air is actually more fresh than Australia's and more unpolluted. ;D

Thanks for reading!

Love,
